Studio X is an exhibition by Ōtepoti-based artist Graham Fletcher, currently on at Gow Langsford Gallery. 

Fletcher is known for his representations of architecture, interiors, art, and the domestic, bringing together contemporary and customary forms, and intermixing Western high art and indigenous traditions in his paintings. 

Inspired by the likes of Mattisse’s The Pink Studio (1911), in this new body of work, Fletcher reflects on the intimate artist’s studio as his locational subject, transforming the physical space of artmaking into art itself. 

Not depicting any one specific studio or space, the paintings extend an interest in Fletcher’s practice in the ways in which he can visually communicate complex cultural discourses between Western and non-Western settings, often in a contemporary Pacific and New Zealand context, speaking to his own Samoan and European heritage.

Sofia had a kōrero with Graham Fletcher about Studio X and his process. 

Freya Burnett is a Tāmaki-based multidisciplinary artist whose work delves into the thematic exploration of magic and female ecstasy through her sculpture and immersive moving image installation practice. 

Her current exhibition Essence on at the Arts House Trust at Pah Homestead, presented in association with Plomacy Gallery, showcases a mesmerising textural landscape of the senses, through projected imagery and a sonic soundscape created by Fergus Waveforms.

Essence pulls viewers into its feminine vocabulary of imagery that shifts and morphs in space through each stage of the work's existence. Dew-dropped botanical imagery slipping into mirrored jewels and reflecting light like one and the same. Blurring the lines between objects and pulling them into their own enchanting visual realm.

Coming together in an ephemeral fugue, Furgus’s constructed sonic soundscape pulls the work further into its own interior atmosphere. Creating a space of layered visual languages that usher viewers into an alternative world that seeks for a conscious and passionate embrace of enchantment.

Maya caught up with artist Freya Burnett, alongside accompanying sound artist Fergus Waveforms, about the show.

In this week's chat with the ACT party Deputy Leader, Alex chatted with Brooke van Velden about law and order.

Bronwyn speaks to Kevin Moran from Save Our Springs about Te Waikoropupū Springs which are currently the subject of a Water Conservation Order being challenged in the Environment Court.

Located close to Takaka in Golden Bay, these freshwater springs are the largest in New Zealand and contain some of the clearest water found in the world. The iconic blue-tinted waters are recognised as a wāhi tapu by the Māori Heritage Council and are of great cultural and spiritual significance to local iwi Ngāti Tama, Te Ātiawa and Ngāti Rarua.

In 2017, Ngāti Tama and Andrew Yuill applied for a Water Conservation Order, however the special tribunal's recommendatory report was not published until the 17th of March this year. In response, ten parties have lodged further proceedings in the Environment Court, some believing the tribunal's report was too strict and others, not restrictive enough.

Save Our Springs is among those appearing in court later this year, calling for improvements to the draft order.
